Hello everyone. My laptop throttles when I game on it after placing it on a laptop stand (Stand Link). I have similar issues as mentioned in a similar thread here. But unlike that case, the reason for my throttling is not because of temperatures as the temperatures are lower while using the laptop on the stand compared to using it on a table without any space between the laptop and the table. What exactly happens is after gaming for about 10-15 minutes, the GPU power starts to immediately go down from 90W to 47W and then jumps back up to 90W after 8-10 seconds. This only happens to the GPU power and I have not seen such spikes for CPU power. Surprisingly CPU power when placing the laptop on the stand increases from 30W (when playing on the table) to 45-48W and then it remains between 28-48W during the session. This whole spike keeps happening at an interval of approx. 2-3 minutes as long as I am playing a game. Now, this makes my game go from 60FPS to 15-18FPS and then back up to 60FPS every 2-3 minutes.
I thought that this happens because of my old thermal paste but even after repasting the problem is not solved.
I have attached the HWiNFO64 logs when playing NFS Heat locked at 60FPS for 50 minutes on both with and without the laptop stand for reference. (Google Drive Link)
Without Laptop Stand
With Laptop Stand
I found out about the GPU and CPU power and performance issues from these logs using Generic Log Viewer.
I would be really grateful if anyone could look at the logs and tell me what exactly is the issue because of which such weird throttling is happening.
